The home where the boxing legend grew up is on sale for $1.45m more than it was 12 years ago.
Muhammad Ali lived in the pink house throughout his childhood, where he was known as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.
He spent his formative years practising his skill, which turned him into the household name he is today.

Now, the two bedroom, one bathroom property is on the market; but its value has seen a sharp increase, reports Luxury Property News.
Back in 2012, the home, located in Louisville, Kentucky, US, was listed for sale at only $50,000 (USD) (£39,464).
Currently, it’s on the market for an eye-watering $1.5M (USD) (£1.18M).
And while it’s expensive, it’s a unique piece of history.
Muhammad Ali lived there when he left for the 1960s Olympics in Rome, where he returned as a gold medal winner.
Even after moving in 1961, he still returned to the neighbourhood on his tour bus.
In 2016, it was converted into a museum that offered a glimpse into the early years of his life, but after two years, it sadly closed due to financial troubles.
Included in the listing price are two adjacent homes, including a gift shop and welcome centre, as well as a rental.
Across 1,200 sqft of living space, there’s the opportunity to make new memories in each property.
George Buchetto, a Philadelphia lawyer and former Pennsylvania state boxing commissioner, is currently the home’s co-owner.
He hopes that the prospective buyer will maintain Ali’s childhood home as a museum, as it’s “part of the town’s history” and “should be treated and respected as such”.
The property is listed with Rusty Underwood and Donna Gail Mattox of Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass.
